Stuck in you

Chapter 433 It's You

Before she finished, Rachel interrupted her. She knew that Julie wanted to say something, but considering their relationship now, she didn't want to say or hear anything that would make her regret.

She smiled and said, "Julie, I'm a little tired. I want to have a rest."

"Then go to sleep early."

Julie had to swallow all those words back, closed the bedroom door gently with the garbage, and left.

In the dark night, the car was speeding. In less than an hour, Jack had parked the car in the neighborhood where the house he gave Scarlett was located.

At this time, when Scarlett was about to go to bed, she heard the doorbell and hurried to open the door. Seeing that Jack was standing outside, she asked happily, "Jack, why are you here?"

"Are you unhappy that I come to you?" With an evil smile, Jack lifted her chin. For a moment, the previously cold room suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.

Scarlett smiled shyly, "Of course I am happy."

Having known Jack for so long, she had tried every means to stay by his side, but up to now, Jack hadn't touched him at all.

At this moment, she took the initiative to hook up Jack and unbuttoned his shirt one by one. "Jack, you should stay here tonight, right?"

"Of course!"

Jack bent down and picked her up. Scarlett screamed, but she couldn't hide her joy.

However, the smile didn't last long. Scarlett pulled her half torn clothes and sat up. Seeing that Jack put on his shirt again, she asked in disbelief, "Jack, what's wrong?"

Jack didn't answer. After putting on his shirt, he turned around and left directly. Looking at the face that was somewhat similar to that of Rachel, he wanted to take Scarlett as her, but he knew in his heart that she was not Rachel.

However, he couldn't do anything to a woman who was not Rachel.

Looking at the empty house again, Scarlett was so angry that she threw all the things on the dressing table to the ground. Blue veins stood out on her forehead. "It's all because of Rachel! Without you, Jack would have touched me and been with me."

She squatted on the ground and burst into tears. She had thought that she could finally be with Jack tonight, but in the end, it was still in vain.

Thinking of the regret and remorse in his eyes when he left, Scarlett wished she could go straight to find Rachel and question her why the two of them, who had no feelings for each other, she still insisted on occupying Jack?

For the next few days, Rachel hadn't seen Jack come back, but the news about him was active on the major media magazines in the Ning City.

He took Scarlett to various high-end clubs, to the shopping mall to buy all kinds of things, and even bought a dessert shop because she liked the dessert in that shop. Moreover, he rename the shop as Mrs. Chen and gave it to her as a gift.

Everyone sighed that Scarlett was lucky to meet such a rich and handsome boyfriend. Meanwhile, many people would sigh and sympathize with Rachel.

In the hospital, the colleagues were naturally curious, but they more or less considered her emotions, so they did not ask Rachel face to face. They only talked a few words in private, so Rachel did not hear, so naturally she would not take it seriously.

The executive had come to see her once, but Rachel was just sent to a meeting by the Director of the executive department, so he only called her.

Rachel knew what he wanted to ask, but she said with smile, "I know how good these reporters are at exaggerating after they only get some clues."

Hearing this, the executive had to put all those words back to his stomach. He didn't say anything but told her to take good care of herself and call him directly if anything happened.

Rachel had thought that Jack wouldn't show up again these days, but when she got home after work, she saw him sitting on the sofa, reeking of alcohol, and his shirt wrinkled.

Seeing him like this, Rachel couldn't tell what was in her mind. She just glanced at him indifferently and wanted to pretend not to see him and went upstairs directly.

But Jack stopped her, "Get me a glass of water."

Rachel wanted to ignore him, but when she saw his dry lips, she couldn't make up her mind. She went to the kitchen, poured a glass of water and handed it to him. When Jack opened his eyes, he sneered, "It's you?"

'It's you?'

Rachel wanted to laugh. Who did he think she was? Scarlett?

A burst of anger rose in her heart. Rachel said coldly, "You've gone to the wrong place."

When she turned around and was about to leave, Jack's voice came from behind her, "Rachel, in fact, you still care about me, don't you?"

Hearing that, Rachel stopped and her body stiffened. 'Care about him?'

Yes, she cared about him all the time. When the word "yes" spilled over her lips, her mobile phone suddenly rang. Jack's "Scarlett" was like a basin of ice water pouring down from her head, extinguishing all the thoughts of her wanting to be honest.

Lowering her eyes, Rachel sneered, "Why should I care about you?"

For the whole night, Rachel almost couldn't fall asleep. She didn't know when Jack left. When she went downstairs to have dinner, he was no longer on the sofa.

Julie also knew what had happened. She had tried to persuade them to make it clear in front of her, but now she rarely mentioned Jack in front of Rachel.

But when she recalled what Jack had said, "It's you?" Rachel still felt a little pain in her heart. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

It took her a long time to take a nap, but in her dream full of the scene that Jack and Scarlett were in love. She seemed to be a fan of the two, closely following them, watching Jack do anything for her, listening to the sweet words of the two. Rachel wanted to separate the two of them, but no matter how she touched them, her hands could only pass through their bodies but couldn't separate them.

When she woke up again, she touched her face, which was already full of tears. Recalling the scene in her dream, Rachel only felt a slight pain in her heart.

On the second day, when she got up, Rachel looked at herself in the mirror. There were dark circles under her eyes. When she picked up the powder and was about to cover them, her phone on the side vibrated.

Gary's voice came from the phone excitedly, "Aunt Rachel, don't forget come to see my performance this afternoon."

"No."

Rachel smiled awkwardly and felt a little guilty. If Gary hadn't called to remind her, she would have forgotten about the invitation card.

Gary asked, "Do you have time to come?"

"Yes." Rachel agreed.

"Then I'll wait for you at the school gate."

After hanging up the phone, when she was about to go to the hospital, a car stopped in front of her. In a hurry, Lea got out of the car and asked, "Rachel, why didn't you tell me such a big thing happened?"

With a slight smile on her face, Rachel didn't answer. Instead, she tried to change the topic and asked, "Didn't you go abroad with Henry and Rita for a vacation?"

A few days ago, Henry finished his work in the company and wanted to take his wife and daughter abroad for a vacation. In that way, Rachel also could enjoy a period of peace.

But before they said that they would come back in half a month. Rachel didn't expect that they would come back so soon.

Seeing that she didn't answer directly, Lea became angry immediately. "Don't change the topic!"

Rachel curled her lips and said, "No, nothing serious happened recently."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lea. "Rachel, are you serious? Are you going to wait until the two of them give birth to their baby and bring him in front of you? What does Jack want to do? Didn't everything go well a few days ago? Where does Scarlett come from?"

Since Lea became a mother, she had become more and more eloquent. Now she was filled with righteous indignation about this matter. It seemed that it would never end.

Rachel knew that it was because of herself that Lea was so excited, so she didn't interrupt Lea and listened quietly with a smile.

When she stopped, Rachel asked, "Are you thirsty? Do you need me to get you a glass of water?"

Lea was a little anxious. "What am I thirsty for? Don't tell me you have no feelings for this matter, Rachel? I don't believe that you have completely given up on Jack."

With a slight sigh, Rachel said, "These have happened. What else can I do?"

"If you don't let go of Jack, you should make it clear to him!" Lea watched at Rachel and took out her phone. "You call him now to make everything clear."

"No."

Holding her hand, Rachel pursed her lips and said slowly, "Lea, you know me. I don't want to be too humble in this relationship. I don't want him to be softhearted and come back to me because of a little request or something. If that's the case, I'd rather end this relationship!"

Rachel's voice was calm and indifferent. It seemed that she was not involved in this matter, but an unimportant passer-by.

However, every word was like a heavy stone in Lea's heart, making her hard to breathe.

There was a trace of pity and sadness in her eyes. She had been with Rachel for so many years, how could she not know what kind of person Rachel was? But the more she thought about it, the more distressed she felt.

Rachel looked at Lea and smiled. "Don't look at me like that. You make me look pitiful."
